Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended ("Act"), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor herein
presents the results of an investigation regarding certification
of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm
under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), are
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers in such
workers' firm have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially separated; and

(2)(A)(i) the sales or production, or both, of such firm have
decreased absolutely; and

(ii)(I) imports of articles or services like or directly
competitive with articles produced or services supplied by
such firm have increased; and

(iii) the increase in imports described in clause (ii)
contributed importantly to such workers' separation or
threat of separation and to the decline in the sales or
production of such firm.


The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on October 29, 2019 by the state workforce office on
behalf of workers of Cameron International Corporation, a
subsidiary of Schlumberger Ltd, including on-site leased
workers from Guidant Global, Ville Platte, Louisiana, (hereby
referred to as "Cameron International Corporation"). The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the production
of valves for the oil and gas industry. The worker group is not
comprised of remote workers.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petitioner, workers' firm, and the major
declining customer of the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers in such workers' firm have become
totally or partially separated, or are threatened to become
totally or partially separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(i) has been met because the sales
and/or production of valves for the oil and gas industry by
Cameron International Corporation have decreased absolutely.
Section 222(a)(2)(A)(ii) has been met because customer
imports of articles like or directly competitive with the
articles produced by Cameron International Corporation have
increased.
Finally, Section 222(a)(2)(A)(iii) has been met because
increased customer imports contributed importantly to the
worker group separations and sales/production declines at
Cameron International Corporation.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Cameron International
Corporation, a subsidiary of Schlumberger Ltd, including on-
site leased workers from Guidant Global, Ville Platte,
Louisiana, who are engaged in activities related to the
production of valves for the oil and gas industry, meet the
worker group certification criteria under Section 222(a) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a). In accordance with Section 223 of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Cameron International Corporation, a
subsidiary of Schlumberger Ltd, including on-site leased
workers from Guidant Global, Ville Platte, Louisiana, who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after October 28, 2018, through two years from the date of
certification, and all workers in the group threatened with
total or partial separation from employment on the date of
certification through two years from the date of
certification, are eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance under Chapter 2 of Title II of the Trade Act of
1974, as amended."
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 20th day of March 2020.
